According to on-chain tracker Lookonchain, a user bought 80 BTC about four months ago at $65,000 per coin, putting in roughly $5.2 million. The position later showed an unrealized profit of about $1.38 million. One week ago, the user bought a Ledger hardware wallet from third-party reseller CryptoBillis and transferred the full 80 BTC into it. The funds have now been stolen. Lookonchain said the case appears linked to recent thefts involving multiple CryptoBillis customers. At the same time, key details remain unconfirmed. It is still unclear whether the device had been tampered with, how the attack was carried out, or who was behind it. The report does not establish a confirmed attack path, and no verified attribution has been provided.
